Queen Anne’s Pyn Pillow is a 9 month online class, beginning January 1, 2024 that will take you through every step of the stitching and finishing of this exquisite pincushion. It covers everything from fabric preparation, to design transfer, to the handling of metal threads, to every detail of silk shading on every motif. The course is worked at your own pace, there are no deadlines on your stitching or progress. Lessons can be downloaded and reviewed on your own schedule.

The pincushion is worked with the highest quality silks, real silver thread, and an exclusive new color of Gilt Sylke Twist for lustrous shine and fabulous sparkle on 38 count Italian linen. The class price includes lessons and a full kit, containing materials that have been produced specially for the Pyn Pillow.

The course includes step by step instruction, with detailed photographs, written directions, and stitch diagrams, with some video supplements. Although the class is designed for an intermediate stitcher, an enthusiastic and motivated beginner can successfully stitch the Pyn Pillow, as the course does not assume prior knowledge. A full course description is available here.

Course login information will be emailed to the email address used to purchase the course in late December.
